A LIVE WATERCOLOUR DEMONSTRATION AND EVENING TALK WITH DAVID BELLAMY
The Wild Serengeti 27th April 2019
Crocodiles, Monkeys & Waist Deep in Snow.
Easingwold & District Art Society (EDAS) was delighted to welcome renowned watercolourist David Bellamy to Easingwold.
David soon got to work producing a pencil sketch of an elephant using reference drawings from his time spent in the Serengeti, while delighting the audience with tales of his adventures, the people he met and how the magic of Africa had captivated him.
Using technical wizardry by videographer Mike Wells, each step of the painting was shown live on screen giving the audience the opportunity to view in detail the techniques and skills employed as David transformed a blank piece of paper into a wonderful watercolour painting of an elephant walking across the African wilderness. See photo.
For the artists among us there was plenty of arty talk interwoven with more tales of his many travel adventures including some from his time spent in the Arctic. The evening proved to be enlightening, entertaining and well supported.
Finally, EDAS would like to express their gratitude to everyone how came along and supported the event, including all the many people working tirelessly in the background to make this a successful evening enjoyed by so many.
